Overview
Waythrough launched in October 2024 following the merger of Humankind and Richmond Fellowship.

We tackle poverty and disadvantage in communities, through mental health, drug and alcohol, housing and related support. We have almost 200 services around England – and nearly 3,500 staff and volunteers who run them. Every year our services support around 125,000 people.
